Project A119. It was the American plan do drop a thermonuclear bomb on the moon. The Soviets also had a similar plan, Project E-4. But why would anyone want to nuke the moon? Hint: there's an actual reason.

Notes
• Note [1] — Eisenhower wasn't a sadistic, trigger-happy, nuke-dropping commander-in-chief. In fact, he's quite the opposite. He's the only U.S. President to oppose the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
• Note [2] — Info about the Soviets' Project E-4 is quite scarce; everything in this video is all that I could find on it.
• Note [3] — If you'd like to see the full transcript of JFK's speech, you can do so here: [ Ссылка ]
